Hatchet Majali Strikes

[Dessert Aviator]

:suspect


Just heard that Chris Cain is leaving us at the end of the month Nov 2009.

Whilest like Majali he came here with a respectful cv and saved Naff Naff from a public lynching at a Pilot meeting he has been invisible in all other respects and has had zero impact on the line. I guess he can start using up his Swiss Air pension on the slopes of St. Moritz now.:D

Nothing or very little to do with Majali.

This was on the card for many months and the decision maker was Mumtalakat , rather than GF CEO.

To be fair , the man had very little impact. Very nice person, but both his position as COO and his personal productivity was true waste of money in a bleeding and struggling airline.

And yes....Expect more expats to be on the list of forced retirement and golden handshakes.

i know what? bring back people like hameed ali. that should do the airline a heap of good!!
only management and office expats will be on the firing line. they can not do without the expat pilots for a long time to go.

Why only Expat management ?

Since GF is bleeding so much , there shouldn't be any bias towards nationalities. Many local managers (particularly the senior managements) are dead weight in the company. Their payslip does not reflect their productivity. Quite a few have reached some heights that they would only dream of and they are holding tight. The good ones will alwyas find a job somewhere else, some of the local managers in GF are simply not up to scratch and need to go.

Let us be realistic , firing a few expats managers will not save the airline.
